Comment on Titanic II = “Made in China” by λ-chan:

Mostly likely they’ll use one or two large diesel engines from a container ship.

The hull and drive of the vessel likely would be based off a container ship design reworked to look like the old Olympic Class liner.

  Hyundai ship yards has considerable experience at constructing large vessels probably more so then anyone in China. Though the best contractors for a cruise ship would be a company like Fincantieri in Italy or STX in Finland. A modern cruise ship internally is a very different beast then a oil tanker or container ship. I’m not even sure if China has the facilities and technology to build a modern cruise ship. Cargo vessels tend to have one or two very large engines with direct drive while …

  No you are not. I think it’ll probably catch on fire at sea.

  One of flaws of the original Titanic it was built of steel with a high sulfur content which caused brittleness in cold water. Chinese steel generally has a high sulfur content due to poor QM and use of coke “not the stuff you drink” made from high sulfur coal. I can’t believe he wants to use a state owned Chinese contractor to build a ship that had a few design flaws to start with. Really anyone with some sense would have the Dutch,Finnish, or Koreans build the vessel and let them make whatever …

  It’s a shit economy and the rise of HR doesn’t help things at all.

  Japan needs to encourage more startups and small businesses. Sometimes that’s what it takes to create new markets and break stagnation. That’s one big thing I noticed different between the US and Japan. In the US new companies are created all the time but in Japan it’s usually established companies that do everything. I think this is why Japan largely missed out on cashing in on the PC revolution and later the Internet revolution and now is missing out on commercial space flight.

  In the US more and more companies are avoiding them as they attract lawsuits when management thinks it can be a source of free labor. Students should refuse any internship that dose not pay anything.

  Unions can become self serving but usually it’s more bad management’s fault then the Unions when a factory closes. A 40 hour work week ,medical benefits,and at least two weeks vacation is not an unreasonable request and should be a right.
